ResumoAbstract The Instituto Nacional de Neurología y Neurocirugía "Manuel Velasco Suárez" (INNN) is one of the main institutions in Latin America treating epilepsy; and bibliometric analysis has an increasing role in analyzing the literature, acting as a Google Maps of medical research. We tracked the scientific output in Scopus and the impact of the institution from its foundation to July 2020 in the field of epilepsy. We roughly separated this group by clinical and experimental approach, identifying core journals, type of article, increase with time, and number of citations. A total of 228 papers, from a total of 3,034 produced by the INNN in that period, were found. Additionally, we identified that neurocysticercosis, pharmacology, genetics, and proteins involved in epilepsy were the most investigated topics. Also, there is a sustained growth in the number of papers per year since 1985. The number of authors per paper ranges from one to 15, and neuroscience journals are the preferred target of researchers, with a predilection for "Epilepsy and Behavior".
